When you've been gossiped about.

[Alex.]

The more time you spend on this (non) issue the greater the chance that it becomes (real) issue and then you are an active participant. Stay away from the bs and the morons. A shared experience may be that anyone who has spent any time on the internet especially in a forum would have at one time or another been the subject of gossip and crowd mentality knuckle dragging and persecution. That is why we have the option to ignore or just walk away.
